Cover: α,ω‐Perfluoroalkyl‐functionalized poly(ethylene oxide) water‐soluble polymers self‐assemble spontaneously in water through their hydrophobic end groups into micelles and other supramolecular aggregates, as demonstrated by dynamic light scattering. The cleavage of the ester bond occurs rapidly in water due to the higher electrophilicity of the perfluorinated moieties in contrast to the non‐fluorinated analogues. Further details can be found in the Full Paper by E. Amado and J. Kressler * on page 850.
